“This post is from Pacific Northwest Foodies. Doc’s Marina Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been on the quest for a great Crab Louie salad for a few years. Sadly, this classic crab salad is hard to find even in states like Washington. I suspect it has to do with most people not wanting to pay a lot of money for a salad, but if you’ve ever had a great one, you know this one is worth it. After doing a lot of research, I made a point to try the one at Doc’s Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island, Washington. There’s also a location in Port Townsend, Washington. For starters, I ordered a cup of Doc’s House Made Clam Chowder ($8) - famous because it’s “oh-so-good!” It needed a sprinkle of salt, but it was very good. For my entrée, I ordered Doc’s Dungeness Crab Louie ($38) - mixed greens topped with tender crab, seasonal vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and Doc’s house-made Louie dressing. I was impressed! I would rate Doc’s Crab Louie a 4/5. It was beautifully presented, had a generous portion of crab, and the house made Louie dressing was excellent! I would give this salad a perfect rating if they removed the red onion, and added a few black olives and asparagus spears. Even so, I was very happy with my salad and would rank it among one the best Crab Louie’s I’ve ever had. It is certainly the best I’ve had in Washington state. In addition to serving great food, I really enjoyed the ambience of Doc’s, and the service was excellent! I look forward to visiting again and try and some new menu items. *The upstairs level and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. * There is an opening above the urinal that is a giant periscope. It provides a panoramic view of Eagle Harbor. It was designed by Lee Scott, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student. If you don’t use a urinal, but are interested in seeing the periscope, staff will clear the room so you can check it out too. I didn’t know about this until after my visit. Next time, I will be sure to check it out. 😊 Highly Recommended!!!“

“The food was great and the team working was amazing the best service ever.“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“Good food (rueben and meatloaf Sammie) and fun atmosphere. Next we'll try brunch!“

“Fun vibe and quirky unique decore. Friendly barkeepers. Separate pinball room with a good selection of machines and reasonable pwr play prices. Good food and some gluten free options for those who roll that way. Worth a stop in when you're in this neighborhood. Or a trip if you're seeking a decent meal, a fun decor, and a side of pinball.“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“Beveridge place is a great place to grab a beer. They have a chill area where you can read a book or play a game and an area in the back with darts, foosball, and shuffle board with many TVs playing sporting events. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They only serve snacks for food, but you can bring whatever food you like it get it delivered to you. We need more places like this!“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“A relaxing laid back atmosphere with so many flavors to choose from. I had a few cocktails, oysters for the first time, and sardines, too. Everything was delectable and Sharon and Dakin are lovely bartenders with great people skills.

I went there for a date and had a wonderful time enjoying new foods, drinks, and flavors. They even had a Malort cocktail!

Highly recommend if you like more intimate locations and being directly at the bar.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Probably one of my favorites since relocating to Seattle.“

“I had their Greek burger which was the special for the day and it was amazing! Their onion rings are so good also. Katie was our server and did an outstanding job as usual. We got greeted by Dan with his big smile and he always makes us feel welcome.“

“Everything on the menu is good. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere.

Steak nachos and margaritas are my go to, but the wings, vegan tacos, and bean dip all get an honorable mention.

Great HH everyday and free pool, basketball, corn hole, and board games to pass the time along with TVs.“

“I love the staff. They are welcoming and engaging“

“Just a cool establishment in a cool town with cool employees 🤘🏻“

“A great place to hang out, with plenty of themed events going on. The Halloween event and costume party were particularly fun. Drinks are typically priced, and seating is at a premium, so arrive early to stake out a spot. Well worth the price of admission ($30 for the Halloween party).“

“Great place.. Karl is the best“

“Great place w amazing service! Ian will take care of ya“

“Great German beers, friendly service, nice place to chill in West Seattle.“

“Single Hill is here!! Yakima is laid back fantastic but you can't always get there...!
SH makes so many IPAs, and now often outstanding ones! This will be a must stop for fresh hop season Sep-Oct every year! So looking forward to it this year. Hey Seattle, SH gave the fresh hop master class in 2023. They were 2nd to Holy Mtn ONLY in 2024. Expect big things every year from them (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“Had a wonderful experience at details wine bar in poulsbo! I'm not too experienced in different wines but the Waitress/Hostess offered some wonderful suggestions. One was a Riesling on the sweet side (in picture) and I loved it! 10/10 I would definitely come back 🥰“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“The Sip is a great addition to Downtown Poulsbo! It is a fun place for families to enjoy and a separate area called “The Kid Free Zone” for adults only. I love all their drink options on tap to try “a sip” and then fill your glass with your favorite. There are plenty of food options as well…all reasonably priced. You can play board games, shuffle board, arcade games…there is something for everyone including a lively, upbeat vibe! 🎉“

“Food was excellent, service was outstanding, although there was only 1-2 servers on the floor, could've used one more. Noise level was LOUD, couldn't hear my seatmate without leaning close to her. Only real issue was/is lack of parking; street parking only. Had two elderly parents with me, both use walkers. No nearby handicap spaces to be found anywhere. Had to double-park to unload them from the car.“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“Looking for a breakfast place for Sunday-after-church. Never thought to stop here as we’re not golfers. . . What a find! Nice and quiet, you can watch the golfers on the driving range, and good food. Great service and reasonable prices. Hubby had the Sampler breakfast and I had the Hash Brown Stack. Best hash browns I’ve had. Only complaints? The coffee isn’t strong enough for me, and the food plate had a big chip on it. Otherwise, top notch. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“My husband and I used to live just down the street, and even though we’re not as close anymore, we always make a point to come back. We love bringing our dogs and hanging out on the back patio. The staff are so kind and always bring treats for the pups. It’s a great spot to watch games and there’s always a solid selection of food and drinks!

“We went to Tracyton Public House for the first time last night and immediately felt welcomed. When the man at the door was checking IDs, we mentioned we’d never been in and he gave us his food recommendations. We took him up on that and ordered the wings! They are SO insanely good (and HUGE!!). Each sauce we got was remarkable. So much flavor. The bartender was very nice and friendly and welcoming. The whole vibe of the place was really cool. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“The atmosphere at Dog Yard Bar was so much fun. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I can't wait to visit again!“

“@manao chicken burgers 🍔 and drinks“

“existing. *facebook wants more chars, so here they are...“

“the best dive bar in Bremerton.“

“Wonderful bartenders, fun community, lots of things to do! 10/10“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“Visited with some friends, ordered garlic burger medium with a little pink however it didn’t have any pink. Still was a good burger. Friends ordered fish and chips and they were a little bit overdone but they said it was still good.“

“Great hangout in West Seattle“

“Super fun little bar case with a great atmosphere and wonderful service. My friends and I spent about $5 each to play games and have a really silly night. I really enjoyed the frozen drink, too, though it gave my two brain cells brain freeze 😹“

“The most comfortable and welcoming establishment in the Junction of West Seattle. Friendly service, great selection, and a quintessential watering hole. Come for a quick pint or bring a crowd for a game - Poggie’s will deliver the classics with ease and no nonsense. Do yourself a favor and drink like a local at Poggie’s. You won’t regret it!🍻“

“what a great time at the Manchester Pub. Hope to be back there soon .🎶🎵♥️“

“real friendly and relaxed“

“Fried. Pickles. Not the silly little quarter sized fellas, but real deal dill spears with the barest hint of a spicy kick. I’ll be back for the pickles.“

“Great food and service! Lots of TVs for football season.“

“I stopped by Lock & Keel the other night and had one of those small but meaningful experiences that remind you why some bars just get it right. I ordered a Diet Coke, but for some reason, my credit card wouldn’t work in their system. Before I could even start fumbling for cash or awkwardly apologizing, the bartender—this super sweet girl with black hair and a nose ring—just smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s on me.”

It wasn’t about the free drink; it was about the vibe. She was friendly, calm, and made what could’ve been an embarrassing moment feel like nothing at all. You don’t always get that kind of kindness in busy bars, and it stood out.

Lock & Keel isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a spot where the staff genuinely seem to care about making people feel welcome. Shoutout to the bartender with the nose ring and black hair—thank you for the Diet Coke and the good energy.

This place deserves all five stars. Cheers!“
